BHARADWAJA

Only Righteous Kings Could be Students

But Bharadwaja wanted only morally righteous warriors; warriors who could conquer demons and morally upright kings were desired. Finally he succeeded in getting such type of people.

The country on the eastern side of the Indus river was ruled by the race of Srunjaya. These kings were virtuous, famous for their religious observances and were beloved of their subjects because of their charitable disposition. One of them was Abhyavarti, son of Chayamanana. He was a famous emperor. Another was Divodasa, king of the Kashi kingdom. Divodasa was also called Prastoka. When they both requested Bharadwaja to become their priest, Bharadwaja agreed.
